The 49ers got blown out in the NFC Championship Game as quarterback Brock Purdy sustained an elbow injury and their defense morphed into an undisciplined unit in the 31-7 loss to the Philadelphia E…
PHILADELPHIA – This 49ers’ season was bound to go down in franchise lore for its shuffling of injured quarterbacks, and that harrowing theme defined Sunday’s closing act in the NFC Championship Game.
This ending did come with drama, in the form of left tackle Trent Williams’ ejection for tugging Eagles safety K’Von Wallace to the ground to escalate a brawl, and officials order both teams to the sideline. That mayhem led to both players being ejected with 3:51 remaining.
*Johnson, 36, looked every bit the veteran journeyman as he struggled in emergency duty before getting dazed and concussed by a Ndamukong Suh hit, only 2 ½ minutes after halftime. That vociferous crowd was not as much a deciding factor as Eagles’ sack leader Hasson Reddick. On Purdy’s sixth snap, his arm was bent by Reddick while attempting a pass from midfield. Riddick had beaten Tyler Kroft’s block, and a subsequent replay ruling reversed the original call of an interception. Purdy got charged with his first career fumble, but losing the ball was trumped by the loss of their hot-shot quarterback to an injury.
